Pineville Elementary

Summary:

Pineville Elementary is a public elementary school in Pineville, North Carolina, serving 771 students in grades K-5 and part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

Pineville Elementary has seen a shift in its student population, with a diverse makeup of 26.85% White, 22.57% African American, 41.37% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of Asian, Native American, Pacific Islander, and multi-racial students. While the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages, its Mathematics and Reading proficiency rates for grades 3-5 lag behind. Pineville Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated, and its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 3 to 2 stars. The school's African American students have performed relatively well, but its Hispanic and English Language Learner students have struggled compared to state averages.

Pineville Elementary faces challenges compared to some nearby higher-performing schools, such as Ballantyne Elementary, Hawk Ridge Elementary, and Beverly Woods Elementary, which have significantly higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. The increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Pineville Elementary suggests the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged population, which could be a contributing factor to its relatively lower academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote It is a wonderful school. The teachers and Admin team are so great with the kids. It feels like a "Community School" and everyone seems to care. Close Quote

Open Quote As a parent who could not be happier with Pineville Elementary School, I felt compelled to share my experience with others. From the moment we stepped foot into this school, we were greeted warmly and could feel the caring & compassion the teachers and leaders have for both the students and parents. Rarely do you find a group of individuals who are so passionate about what they do and to making the educations and school a better place for all. While I believe strongly that there are always varying opinions, I can say that I have to disagree that the leaders and teachers do not listen to parents-I have found it to be quite the opposite.

Some have said that that this is a "poor school with students who come in struggling". This a large generalization & one that is not a true reflection of the communities & students that feed into PES. The diversity of students (both ethnically & socioeconomic) is what makes this school unique. It is also one of the things I like most about it. Before passing on PES based on online comments & EOG scores, I encourage all parents to do what we did-visit the school, meet the leaders, & then make an informed decision. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
